Message	and replaced everything that would have been the obvious culprit... but it sounds like time you had a rough idea what the problem was... first time being the head gasket... second time being the boost spike (which would have caused you to potentially lean out and detonate), and the third time I'm not sure... 14psi on Sport 500s and 555s "should" have been ok... but then again depending on your altitude and all... only running 91 octane might have been the problem at that level... maybe not... Woody states its not, and I know he knows a few things about Zs, so I'd trust his statement that 91 should have been fine for the altitude/tune... but I can't really state much being that I'm here, your there, and I've never seen your car or even talked to you before... I'm just drawing conclusions based on what you've stated... Sorry to hear about your string of issues/failures though! =( Best luck next time around... KaZ (VaBch) Now with 100% more Z!
